What Complications Can a Defective Hernia Mesh Cause?
- Chronic abdominal or groin pain — often severe and disabling
- Infection — ranging from localized wound infection to serious systemic infection requiring hospitalization
- Mesh migration — the mesh shifts from its original placement, irritating surrounding tissue and organs
- Organ perforation — migrating mesh punctures the intestines, colon, bladder, or other organs
- Bowel obstruction — mesh adhesions block the small or large intestine, restricting blood flow and requiring emergency surgery
- Hernia recurrence — defective mesh fails to maintain tissue repair, allowing the hernia to return
- Fluid buildup (seroma or hematoma)
- Erectile dysfunction and sexual dysfunction in male patients with inguinal hernia repairs
Which Hernia Mesh Products Are Involved in Litigation?
Litigation has centered on polypropylene mesh products from several major manufacturers. Among the most prominent:
- Bard (Becton Dickinson) — the Bard MDL in the Southern District of Ohio involves tens of thousands of claims; a settlement program was established in 2024, with payments distributing to eligible claimants
- Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson) — Physiomesh was pulled from the market in 2016; Ethicon has confidentially settled thousands of cases
- Covidien (Medtronic) — Covidien Parietex and Symbotex mesh litigation continues in federal MDL; a Covidien bellwether trial was scheduled for July 2026 and will help guide future settlement negotiations
- Atrium Medical — C-QUR mesh, a fish oil-coated product, has been linked to severe inflammatory reactions; claims pending

Who Qualifies for a Hernia Mesh Lawsuit?
You may have a hernia mesh lawsuit if:
- You had hernia repair surgery using a mesh implant
- You later experienced one or more complications — pain, infection, bowel obstruction, mesh migration, organ perforation, or the need for revision surgery
- Your complications were caused by the defective mesh rather than an unrelated condition
Even if you have already had revision surgery to remove or repair the mesh, you may still have a claim for the harm the defective product caused. Contact Cellino Law even if you are unsure — our team will evaluate your situation at no cost.
What Compensation Can Hernia Mesh Victims Recover?
- Medical expenses from additional surgeries, hospitalization, and treatment for mesh complications
- Future medical costs for ongoing care
- Lost wages during recovery and rehabilitation
- Pain and suffering and emotional distress
- Reduced quality of life and permanent impairment
